But sometimes, those things can be quite embarrassing, leaving parents terrified and at a loss for how to handle certain situations.

One mom at Chick-fil-A had a similar experience when her kids pointed, starred, and loudly asked questions about a special needs boy in a wheelchair.

Leah Carroll, the mother of the special needs child, shared what happened on Facebook, leading her post to go viral with over 195,000 reactions and nearly 80,000 shares.

She continues, “But as in most cases, these suggestions are futile with young, curious minds and they continued to stare and loudly ask questions about my son's differences. When you realized your whispers weren't working I saw the panic disappear and you took a deep breath and took a step of courage…”
